yeah really sad because it was right on campus and they think it was just a random crime. It happened right around the corner from my condo and there's hardly ever any violent crime in this area :(

That's the school my oldest wants to attend because they have the BEST girl's soccer program.

Here's a video of her in Ecuador where she she volunteered over the summer. Sad someone with such a good heart to be taken away so young.

UNC student president found slain

CHAPEL HILL - A young woman found shot to death in an intersection in the Hillcrest neighborhood early Wednesday was the student body president at UNC-Chapel Hill, police said today.
Police identified the dead woman as Eve Marie Carson, 22, of Athens, Ga., a Morehead-Cain scholar and a senior. They have made no arrests and have no suspects.

Investigators are looking for Carson's stolen 2005 blue Toyota Highlander with Georgia license plate AIV 6690. They believe the vehicle was taken during the crime.

Town Police Chief Brian Curran said police have no motive for the killing. "At this point what I'm thinking, what it feels like, is a fairly random crime," Curran said.

Carson was last seen alive at 1:30 a.m. Wednesday, Curran said.

As student body president, Carson served on the UNC-Chapel Hill Board of Trustees. She spent the spring semester of 2006 on a UNC Study Abroad program in Cuba and later studied in Ecuador. A member of the academic excellence society Phi Beta Kappa, Carson was majoring in political science and biology and hoped to go to medical school.

Officers found Carson's body lying in the intersection of Hillcrest Road and Hillcrest Circle before dawn Wednesday when they responded to a 911 call reporting gunfire.

She had been shot multiple times, including at least once in the head, said Lt. Kevin Gunter of the Chapel Hill Police Department. She carried no identification, prompting an all-out effort by police and university officials to identify her.

The idyllic Hillcrest neighborhood lies east of Franklin Street between downtown and University Mall.

Chapel Hill Mayor Kevin Foy said the community was shaken. "We've suffered a tragic loss today, and our community is in shock and grief," he said.

"Eve Carson was a person who touched lives throughout this town and campus. She was happy, vivacious, intelligent, engaged and a presence in our community whose absence leaves a permanent void in our hearts and in our lives."

UNC-CH Chancellor James Moeser issued a statement calling Carson a "wonderful person and great friend."

"We are deeply saddened and numb with grief," he said.

Moeser will address students and faculty at 3 p.m. at Polk Place, at the center of campus. Counselors will be available until 11 p.m. today to the Student Academic Services Building and in the Carolina Union.

"I know how difficult it will be to begin to comprehend something so tragic," Moeser said in the statement. "Please, as you gather your thoughts and prayers, think of Eve's parents, family and friends."
